During this campaign the Conservatives tried to target "Workington man".
In a nutshell, Workington man is described as "the imagined poster boy for "middle England" likes rugby league and Labour, he voted for Brexit and feels the country is moving away from his views."
The increase in the Tory vote in Workington was eight points and the decline in the Labour vote was 12 points. So the swing from Lab to Con in this seat is in line with the exit poll expectations.
